Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng

Based on the child's condition of low fever caused by influenza B, I recommend the following medications: Firstly, antiviral drugs should be selected, such as Compound Paracetamol and Amantadine Tablets, Compound Sulfamethoxazole Tablets, etc. Secondly, anti-inflammatory drugs should be used, such as Ibuprofen, Morphine, Ambroxol, etc., to control inflammation. Additionally, appropriate analgesic, antipyretic, and antitussive medications can be administered, such as Paracetamol and Oxycodone Granules, Acetaminophen Hydrochloride Tablets, Hydrocortisone Tablets, etc. Finally, Compound Ribavirin Tablets or Compound Placebo Tablets may be used according to specific conditions to aid the child's recovery from influenza B. Regarding administration, the medication should be taken according to the prescribed dosage and course of treatment, paying attention to the daily dosage and even distribution throughout the day to achieve optimal therapeutic effects. During the course of medication, consumption of spicy, greasy foods, and certain fruits and vegetables should be avoided. Furthermore, sufficient sleep should be ensured to provide a favorable environment for recovery.
